Bead Peeps Swap and Hop reveal 2018

Well well well. I received an amazing bundle of goodies from Catherine La Vite of Dry Gulch Beads.

Eeek. My mind was immediately transported to the woods at dawn. Soft muted tonal greens. And the king of the woodland the stag. I did attempt to fashion a deer head from silver which may still happen. But in between children and work and life the silver stag shall have to wait.

Here is the necklace I made. Springwood. And the earrings using the amazing headpins.

I used the copper spacers by cutting them into little flowers and embellishing the loop below the amazing patinaed deer antlers.

The amazing chain was embellished with the lovely carved jade flowers and twinkling crystal beads.

The earrings were whipped up using the etched drops and a pair of my copper Doofs that just sang together.

Pop on over to Catherine’s blog to see what she did with what I sent her here.
